Beware the Baggage Squeeze!

For many years now, travellers in Europe have bemoaned the stingy luggage allowances of budget airlines such as Ryanair and EasyJet. But now, airlines are tightening even hand baggage allowances with British Airways reducing the size of a second item passengers can take into the cabin. Be warned!

In the past, those carrying more than allocated cabin baggage allowances have caused controversy.
